Jan Ladislav Dussek or Jan Ladislav DusĂk (baptized as Václav Jan DusĂk) (February 12, 1760 in Čáslav-March 20, 1812 in St.-Germain-en-Laye) was a Czech composer and pianist. The Dussek family has an extraordinarily long history as professional musicians, starting at least as early as Jan Ladislav's grandfather, and lasting in the Moravian branch of the family at least into the 1970s. Of them, Jan Ladislav is often known as "Dussek the Great". Read more on Last.fm
